Lost 03:34

lost on an island where you brought her you brought her now she's lost left to survive with what you taught her you taught her now she's lost and they saw it all by the light of the lighthouse tall she ate him whole he took the fall and she's got a fang and a werewolf brain she screams the moon with her frozen gang and it's time to leave a place when your head is underwater and the curtains are so tattered that you can't make a dress even out of the shreds cleft by the diamond that you bought her you bought her what is left tossed in a life that doesn't suit her with a love that will pollute her now she's lost you can't make a dress even out of the shreds though you try and you try and you do it again isn't that my blood running down my white gown Mama, can't you see I am everything you asked and now who am I ding dong the witch is dead come and bring me her green head she had a lot to learn about me and it's time to leave a place when your head is underwater and the curtains are so tattered that you can't make a dress even out of the shreds

I remember flames library games dressing as the Lady of Lourdes for Halloween 7641 if you get lost tell the man with the gun Mrs. Fodor with the curlers in her hair lost her husband and she doesn't seem to care see the school kids hiding in the trees camouflaging themselves from the carpool police why would I go back what would bring me back little House bonnets bicentennial parades children laughing at my terrible taste dancing in ashes my first idea of snow reveling in dying dreams of a distant volcano everything is perfect in this imperfect state what would bring me back to Candyland and secrets too dark for suburban man weren't these homes built on sacred ground how did it become distilled with disneyland and dairy cows why do you want to come dredge this up memory's a funny thing do you recall what happened to me

Harder 03:30

when you knew me I was a willow bowing to every breeze you could tell me I was a vampire and I'd suck 'til you were on your knees now I am harder than I ever thought I could and if you are a soothing balm I wish you would when you knew me I was smaller I couldn't catch the latch from where I stood but when the spit flew from the Furies I only did what any woman would when you knew me I was a dandelion and you had the breath to make me fly but roots are holding and color's showing and where I dispersed I multiplied I am softer than the sweetest summer would and if you want to pray to me I think you could

So Lovely 04:23

you're so lovely when you're down on your knees you're so wise when you're talking in your sleep you're so charmed with your arms around me you're so lovely Aphrodite hear me now show me show me show me how press those lips upon my hair make me make me make me fair Mr. Rogers says I can get my hooks in a righteous man got my sailboat, got my bait now alls I gots to do is wait you're so holy, you're so sane you're so quick to call my name you're so calm and you're so clean you've got everything that I need let your love come down and lift me from my ordinary world let my life show that I'm more than just an ordinary girl your divinity flows through me like wine your divinity followed me through time you're so gentle as you're climbing over me you're so hard but only when you need to be you're so lovely little moonchild still afraid of the sea take my hand what is meant to be will be you're so lovely

Requiem 07:07

I know that I've taken all I could from this a dead man's word was broken in a garden Judas kiss someone knew his plans someone knew the man would you take from me this pain, this pain that I extract from you again, again I let myself be prey to rabbit traps so plainly placed there is a hell that we create that now I just choose to erase no matter how many times you cry you'll never be the one who died catching him in strangers' eyes no matter how many times you've made him into a god damned hero and I made him mine I made you mine you could be someone without me I have to shove off from this black eroding shore nothing here can hold me down no one binds me anymore before the bloom has faded from the rose I cut myself off, I let myself go I could be someone without you but I'm not a worthy acolyte you're too scared to conjure the one you loved the most so you've decreased his essence into a tired and grumpy ghost I will bloom again you have never seen me you have never seen me but I will bloom again
